The history of the plant began with the formation of the District Butter and Industry Plant in 1939. After the release of Pruzhany district since 07.18.1944 the District Butter and Industry Plant was engaged in butter manufacture and supply for the needs of the Soviet Army. In the early postwar years the plant recycled 1-2 tons of milk per year. Everything was made by hand. The plant produced butter, cheese, casein and ice cream.

In 1951 the District Butter and Industry Plant was eliminated, the plant became an independent unit. In 1954 the construction of a new plant began. The plant was built on self-support base. The plant office, industrial building, which consisted of receiving, processing and dairy shops, boiler and compressor rooms were constructed.

From 1965 to 1967 total reconstruction of the plant was made. Cheese-making shop with the capacity of 10 tons of milk per shift was built.
